OT: Ping

[Derek Trotter]

In February 2011 I moved away from civilizaation, but not by choice.  
Due to the crappy economy I lost my job and couldn't find another in 
time to avoid loosing my apartment.  My sister lives in Whitley county 
Kentucky.  So I went there.  Then I got settled and am in Jellico, Tn.  
If you haven't been here, you're not missing anything.

Many times locals have asked me why in the hell would I move here.  I 
usually tell them it's because of a BO problem I have, the same one they 
and 300 million other Americans have.
